MALMO, Sweden : Former Scotland goalkeeper Shannon Lynn has called for clubs to become better listeners after a Swedish study focused on the top two men's divisions found 27 per cent of coaches and 23 per cent of players in Sweden showed symptoms of depression.
"Now more than ever, we're talking about mental health a lot more, trying to normalise it we have a long way to go," Lynn, who has previously been a mental health advocate for international players union FIFPRO, told Reuters. "I guess, for so many years, I knew I needed help but you kind of put it aside and you don't seek help - you feel like you're weak, or you feel like you're just not worth it," she said.
"In the end, the one we chose was Donald Duck's voice for me. You say those things that you are saying to yourself in that voice, and then you're like, 'That's ridiculous'!""I guess it's open up. Talk about how you feel ... a lot of times when we say things out loud, or we say it to someone else, it takes some of the edge off, it takes the heaviness of it," she explained.
